[From the Chicago Press. ] ‘The schooner Flying Cloud, Ca Sherwood, left this port on Wednesday, the L inat., with # cargo of 10,000 bushels of wheat, for Cleveland. When she got ontside, the wind was southwest, with moderate weather. About lWo'clock p.m, however, it hauled nd to the north, and in- y o'clock to a perfect hurri- cane, accompanied with snow. when the boat was carried away from the davits. and the cap- tain ordered the vessel by the wind. About two o'clock on Thursday morning, while the vessel was under close-reefed canvas, the fore-gat! was carried away, and the foresai! split to ribbons. The wind about this time veered around to the northwest, and the decks and rigging were com- pletely covered with ice. As the cold increased, it was deemed the only safe course to let the ves- sel rua before the wind; the seamen being com- letely paralyzed with cold, for the sea made a reach over her, carryir ay everything mov- able on deck. Aboat 10 o'clock the vessel struck, about one mile ea: nd Calumet Creek, and almost immediate her back” and filled with water. The cs nd crew took to the rigging, where they remained all day, and at night came down and spent the night on the quarter deck, lashed to the spars. Friday motuing two of the crew were found deasd—frozen still, and the captaia and seaman all but perished About nine o'clock the mate, George Gardiner, determined do all in his power to get a boat to take the crew off the ves- sel, jum werboard and swam #shore—a dis- tance of aty rods—and made for a shanty ebouta mileand a half in the woods from the shore; but when within a short distance of it he fell exhausted, and perished. Another sailor, Wat Wayne, jun next, on the same errand. Nobly and manfully did he struzyle against the angry waters, and gained the shore, but it was only to liedown on the beach, within sight of the crew in the cold embrace of death. At this juncture ail hope seemed to be lost, and the cap- tain attempted to rise and also make an effort to et ashore, but he was so enfeebled that he only rose and immediately fell back and ejaculated, “Bops, l’m dying—try and save yourlives. Tell my wife that I’ve done my duty.’ These were the last words be spoke Frank Fox, our informant, wasthenext to Jump overboard—which was about -past twelve o'clock, and he was no ner In the water than he saw two men coming along the beach with a small boat. This gave him additional courage, and after asevere struggle be reached the shore ‘The two men then lannched their boat, and one went on board and another iemained on shore with a rope. They made one trip to the boat suc- cessfully, and brovgitt one man ashore, Henry Coleman; but three successive times It was swamped, and the last survivor left on board was drowued. ‘The boat was broken to pieces. Fox tuo weak and too stiff to reuder any assistance, immediately after landing made forthe shanty in the woods and found it occupied by an old man and woman. Close by it he found the mate lying nearly dead. He wes ezrried inside, his clothes eut from bis body, and wrapped fo warm biank- ets, but he almost tmmediately expired. Henry Coleman, the other survivor, arrived at the shan- ty soon after. Both were nearly dead with cold in the kindest manner possibie they were taken care of. There clothes being still stiff, had to be eut in pieces from their bodies, and they were put iute comfortabie beds before the fire, and fabbed till they revived. So far gone were they that they could neither eat nor drink till Satur day morning. Had they remained an hour lor exposed to the elements, th is little doubt they #iso would have perished ‘On Saturday forenoon Fox w=!ked to Calumet Station, and took the train for this city, where Le arrived in the afternoon. His fingers ave all frost- ed, three of them completely covered with blis- ters. His right taum, ix broken off at the first Joint, ikea piece of wood — He will in all prob- ability lose parts of his flnvers.
